| Optimized DNA sequence encoding Mouse Interleukin-1 beta mature chain was expressed in Escherichia Coli. |
|
| Molecular weight: |
|
Mature Mouse IL-1 beta, is generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide
and propeptide.The molecule has a calculated molecular mass of approximately 17 kDa.
Recombinant IL-1 beta is a disulfide-linked monomer protein consisting of two 153 amino acid residue subunits. Recombinant IL-1 beta migrates as an approximately 17 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.

|
| Endotoxin: |
Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method.
Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/µg(1EU/µg). |
|
| Presentation: |
| Mouse IL-1 beta was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH 7. |
|
| Reconstitution: |
| A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers. |
|
| Storage: |
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20° C.
Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8° C for one month, or at -20° C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
